What do you expect? We should look deeper into the process how the installation or update if openoffice/libreoffice works in the distributions (actual versions) If people tell us that they don't get the office they want then we have to analyse what the do. Then we have to explain how they get what they want So we can solve most of the problems. Please NO trademark war against Linux distributions. As I told some weeks ago we need volunteers to maintain Apache OpenOffice in each GNU/Linux Distributions.
